Tackle It Tuesday — A Very Late Start at Back To School

Since we’ve arrived home as September is closing her doors, we are very late catching the “back to school” bus.

Today I scrambled to find Julia something nice to wear to school that wasn’t creased from a suitcase. I jumped in the car to take her to school, only to realize I hadn’t put the car seats back in the car.

Thankfully, the last year has given her such confidence and independence that she settled quickly in amongst her new classmates and she barely looked up as I left. (A far cry from last years tears.)

After I left, I went and bought her a new school dress and a couple pairs of pants.

Then, once 3:00 hit, I picked her up and we went to buy her new ballet shoes, tights and body suit.

She still needs new shoes and a couple more dresses… oh, and I almost forgot… a gymnastics leotard. I’ll have to get that tomorrow.

I still have suitcases to unpack, laundry to do… and oh yes, piles and piles of WORK!!!

So, tell me what you’re up to with all your other tackles… housework and otherwise… add your link to your tackle in the Mck Linky below!

Each week on Tuesday, we are posting before and after pictures of a project or trouble area that we tackled this week.Find out more about Tackle It Tuesday here.
The project can be little or big – whatever you want.

Wow, I would think that three weeks of being away, not to mention out of the country, would be an enormous tackle to unpack from and get settled back in – without having to deal with the start of school on top of things… Good luck and I’m so glad that Julia’s first day went better for both of you this year! 🙂
